2, 6-DISUBSTITUTED QUINAZOLINES , QUINOXALINES , QUINOLINES AND ISOQUINOLINES AS
INHIBITORS OF RAF KINASE FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to new substituted quinazoline, quinoxaline,
quinoline and isoquinoline compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts^ esters or
prodrugs thereof, compositions of the new compoiands together with pharmaceutically
acceptable carriers, and uses of the new compounds, either alone or in combination with
at least one additional therapeutic agent, in the prophylaxis or treatment of cancer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Raf serine/threonine kinases are essential components of the Ras/Mitogen-
Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling module that controls a complex
transcriptional program in response to extemal cellular stimuli. Raf genes code for highlj?^
conserved serine-threonine-specific protein kinases which are known to bind to the ras
oncogene. They are part of a signal transduction pathway believed to consist of receptor
tyrosine kinases, p21 ras, Raf protein kinases, Mekl (ERK activator or MAPKK) kinases
and ERK (MAPK) kinases, which ultimately phosphorylate transcription factors. In this
pathway Raf kinases are activated by Ras and phosphorylate and activate two isoforms of
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase (called Mekl and Mek2), that are dual
specificity threonine/tyrosine kinases. Both Mek isoforms activate Mitogen Activated
Kinases 1 and 2 (MAPK, also called Extracellular Ligand Regulated Kinase 1 and 2 or
Erkl and Erk2). The MAPKs phosphorylate many substrates including transcription
factors and in so doing set up their transcriptional program. Raf kinase participation in
the Ras/MAPK pathway influences and regulates many cellular functions such as
proliferation, differentiation, survival, oncogenic transformation and apoptosis.
Both the essential role and the position of Raf in many signaling pathways have
been demonstrated from studies using deregirlated and dominant inhibitory Raf mutants
in mammalian cells as well as from studies employing biochemical and genetic
techniques model organisms. In many cases, the activation of Raf by receptors that
wo 2005/037285
PCT/US2004/034185
Stimulate cellular tyrosine phosphorylation is dependent on the activity of Ras, indicating
that Ras ftmctions upstream of Raf. Upon activation, Raf-1 then phosphorylates and
activates Mekl, resulting in the propagation of the signal to downstream effectors, such
as MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) (Crews et al. (1993) Cell 74:215). The Raf
5 serine/threonine kinases are considered to he the primary Ras effectors uivolved in the
proliferation of animal cells (Avruch et al. (1994) Trends Biochem. Set 19:279).
Raf kinase has three distinct isoforms, Raf-1 (c-Raf), A-Raf, and B-Raf,
distinguished by their ability to interact with Ras, to activate MAPK kinase pathway,
tissue distribution and sub-cellular localization (Marias et al., Biochem. J. 351: 289-305,
10 2000; Weber et. al. Oncogene 19:169-176, 2000; Pritchard et al., Mol. Cell Biol.
15:6430-6442, 1995).
Recent studies have shown that B-Raf mutation in the skin nevi is a critical step in
the mitiation of melanocytic neoplasia (Pollock et. al., Nature Genetics 25: 1-2, 2002).
Furthermore, most recent studies have emerged that activating mutation in the kinase
15 domain of B-Raf occurs in -66% of melanomas, 12% of colon carcinoma and 14% of
liver cancer (Davies et. al.. Nature 417:949-954, 2002) (Yuen et. al., Cancer Research
62:6451-6455, 2002) (Brose et. al.. Cancer Research 62:6997-7000, 2002).
Inhibitors of Raf/MEK/ERK pathway at the level of Raf kinases can potentially be
effective as therapeutic agents against tumors with over-expressed or mutated receptor
20 tyrosine kinases, activated intracellular tyrosine kinases, tumors with aberrantly
expressed Grb2 (an adapter protein tliat allows stimulation of Ras by the Sos exchange
factor) as well as tumors harboring activating mutations of Raf itself. In early clinical
trails an inhibitor of Raf-1 kinase, that also inhibits B-Raf, has shown promise as a
therapeutic agent in cancer therapy (Crump, Current Pharmaceutical Design 8: 2243-
25 2248, 2002; Sebastien et. al.. Current Pharmaceutical Design 8: 2249-2253, 2002).
Disruption of Raf expression in cell lines through the application of RNA
antisense technology has been shown to suppress both Ras and Raf-mediated
tumorigenicity (Kolch etal.. Nature 349:416-428, 1991; Monia etal.. Nature Medicine
2(6):668-675, 1996).
30 Several Raf kinase inhibitors have been described as exhibiting efficacy in
inhibiting tumor cell proliferation in viti'o and/or in vivo assays (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos.
6,391,636, 6,358,932, 6,037,136, 5,717,100, 6,458,813, 6,204,467, and 6,268,391). Other

In yet other aspects, the present invention provides compounds which are
10 inhibitors of the elizyme raf kinase. Since the enzyme is a downstream effector of p2l^^^,
the instant inhibitors are useful in pharmaceutical compositions for human or veterinary
use where inhibition of the raf kinase pathway is indicated, e.g., in the treatment of
tumors and/or cancerous cell growth mediated by raf kinase. In particular, the
compounds are useful in the treatment of hxoman or animal, e.g., murine cancer, since the
15 progression of these cancers is dependent upon the ras protein signal transduction cascade
and therefore is susceptible to treatment by interruption of the cascade by inhibiting raf
kinase activity. Accordingly, the compounds of the invention are useful in treating solid
cancers, such as, for example, carcinomas (e.g., of the Imigs, pancreas, thyroid, bladder or
colon, myeloid disorders (e.g., myeloid leukemia) or adenomas (e.g., villous colon
20 adenoma).
"Raf inhibitor" is used herein to refer to a compound that exhibits an IC50 with
respect to Raf Kinase activity of no more than about 1 00 j^M and more typically not more

The compoimds of the invention comprise asymmetrically substituted carbon
atoms. Such asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can result in the compounds of the
invention comprising mixtures of stereoisomers at a particular asymmetrically substituted
carbon atom or a single stereoisomer. As a result, racemic mixtures, mixtures of
^ 5 diastereomers, as well as single diastereomers of the compounds of the invention are
included in the present invention. The terms "S" and "R" configuration, as used herein,
are as defined by the lUP AC 1 974 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR Section E, Fundamental
Stereochemistry, Pure Appl Chem, 45:13-30 (1976). The terms a and p are employed
for ring positions of cyclic compounds. The a-side of the reference plane is that side on
10 which the preferred substituent lies at the lower numbered position. Those substituents
lying on the opposite side of the reference plane are assigned [3 descriptor. It should be
noted that this usage differs from that for cyclic stereoparents, in which "a" means
"below the plane" and denotes absolute config\iration. The terms a and P configxaration,
as used herein, are as defined by the Chemical Abstracts Index Guide-Appendix IV

In this scheme 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde 1 is reacted in DMF with
iodomethane and potassium carbonate to yield 5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde 2. The
5 methoxybenzaldehyde is heated with p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate (catalytic
amount) in toluene to obtain the dioxane derivative 3, which is hydrogenated to give 2-
(13-dioxolan-2yl)-4-methoxyphenylamine 4. Following conversion to the
ethoxycarboxamide 5 and then to the formyl carboxamide 6, 6-methoxyquinazohn-2-ol 7
is obtained by ring closure with ammonia. Reaction with phosphoms oxychloride then

Compoimds of the invention wherein Y ^ O or S may generally be prepared as
shown in examples 1-92 below. Compounds containing Y = C may generally be
prepared as described in WO 03/031458, Compounds having Y = N may generally be
prepared by treating hydroxy-substituted quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, or quinazolinyl
compounds with triflic anhydride followed by the appropriate aryl or heteroaryl amines
under Pd catalyzed conditions (Old, D.W.; Wolfe, J.P.; Buchwald, S. L. X Am, Chem,
Soc, 1998, 120, 9722-9723).
Various other compounds of the invention can be made by treating an
appropriately functionalized heteroaryl or aryl acid (-A2-COOH) with sodium azide or
diphenylphosphoryl azide under Schmidt/Curtius rearrangement conditions to form the
corresponding heteroarylisocyanate (-A2-N=C=0) intermediates. These isocyanates need

thioamides, carbamates, thiocarbamates, ureas, and thioixreas.
The compounds of the invention are useful in vitro or in vivo in inhibiting the
growth of cancer cells. The compounds may be used alone or in compositions together
5 with a pharrnaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. Suitable phantnaceutically
acceptable carriers or excipients include, for example, processing agents and drug
delivery modifiers and enhancers, such as, for example, calcium phosphate, magnesium
stearate, talc, monosaccharides, disaccharides, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose,
sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, dextrose, hydroxypropyl-P-cyclodextrin, polyvinyl-
10 pyrroUdinone, low melting waxes, ion exchange resins, and the like, as well as
combinations of any two or more thereof. Other suitable pharrnaceutically acceptable
excipients are described in "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences," Mack Pub. Co., New
Jersey (1991), incorporated herein by reference.
Effective amounts of the compounds of the invention generally include any
1 5 amount sufficient to detectably inhibit Raf activity by any of the assays described herein,
by other Raf kinase activity assays known to those having ordinary skill in the art or by
detecting an inhibition or alleviation of symptoms of cancer.
The amoimt of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials
to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the
20 particular mode of administration. It will be understood, however, that the specific dose
level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity
of the specific compoimd employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time
of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the
severity of the particular disease imdergoing therapy. The therapeutically effective
25 amoxmt for a given situation can be readily determined by routine experimentation and is
within the skill and judgment of the ordinary clinician.
For pixrposes of the present invention, a therapeutically effective dose will
generally be a total daily dose administered to a host in single or divided doses may be in
amounts, for example, of firom 0.001 to lOOOmg/kg body weight daily and more
30 preferred jfrom 1.0 to 30mg/kg body weight daily. Dosage unit compositions may
contain such amounts of submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.

formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers,
adjuvants, and vehicles as desired. Topical administration may also involve the use of
transdermal administration such as transdermal patches or ionophoresis devices. The
term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous,
5 intramuscxilar, intrastemal injection, or infusion techniques.
Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous
suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or
wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a
sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or
10 solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3 -propanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles
and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer^s solution, and isotonic sodium
chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent
or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including
synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the
1 5 preparation of inj ectables .
Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the
dmg with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols,
which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will
therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
20 Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills,
powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be
admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose lactose or starch- Such dosage
forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert
diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules,
25 tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills
can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include phannaceutically
acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents
commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise
30 adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, cyclodextrins, and
sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of
liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or
-35-
wo 2005/037285
PCT/US2004/034185
other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid
crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically
acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The
present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the
5 present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids
are the phospholipids and phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic.
Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed.,
Methods in Cell Biology^ Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.W., p. 33 etseq.
(1976).
10 While the compounds of the invention can be administered as the sole active
pharmaceutical agent, they can also be used in combination with one or more other agents
used in the treatment of cancer. Representative agents useful in combination with the
compoxmds of the invention for the treatment of cancer include, for example, irinotecan,
topotecan, gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin carboplatin, cisplatin, taxanes,
15 tezacitabine, cyclophosphamide, vinca alkaloids, imatinib (Gleevec), anthracyclines,
rituximab, trastuzumab, dacarbazine, aldesleukin, capecitabine, and Iressa (gefitinib), as
well as other cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
The above compounds to be employed in combination with the compounds of the
invention will be used in therapeutic amomits as indicated in the Physicians* Desk
20 Reference (PDR) 47th Edition (1993), which is incorporated herein by reference, or such
therapeutically useful amounts as would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
The compounds of the invention and the other anticancer agents can be
administered at the recommended maximum clinical dosage or at lower doses. Dosage
levels of the active compounds in the compositions of the invention may be varied so as
25 to obtain a desired therapeutic response depending on the route of administration, severity
of the disease and the response of the patient. The combination can be administered as
separate compositions or as a single dosage form containing both agents. When
administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate
compositions, which are given at the same time or different times, or the therapeutic
30 agents, can be given as a single composition.
Antiestrogens, such as tamoxifen, inhibit breast cancer growth through induction
of cell cycle arrest, that requires the action of the cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip. Recently, it
has been shown that activation of the Ras-Raf-MAP Kinase pathway alters the
-36-
wo 2005/037285
PCT/US2004/034185
phosphorylation status of p27Kip such that its inhibitory activity in arresting the cell
cycle is attenuated, thereby contributing to aatiestrogen resistance (Donovan et al, J. Biol.
Chem. 27^:40888, 2001). As reported by Donovan et al., inhibition of MAPK signaling
through treatment with MEK inhibitor changed the phosphorylation status of p27 in
hormone refactory breast cancer cell lines and in so doing restored hormone sensitivity.
Accordingly, in one aspect, the compoxmds of formulas (I) - (V) may be used in the
treatment of hormone dependent cancers, such as breast and prostate cancers, to reverse
hormone resistance commonly seen in these cancers with conventional anticancer agents.
In hematological cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML),
chromosomal translocation is responsible for the constitutively activated BCR-ABl
tyrosine kinase. The afflicted patients are responsive to Gleevec, a small molecule
tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as a result of inhibition of Abl kinase activity. However, many
patients with advanced stage disease respond to Gleevec initially^ but then relapse later
due to resistance-conferring mutations in the Abl kinase domain. In viti^o studies have
demonstrated that BCR-Avl employs the Raf kinase pathway to elicit its effects. In
addition, inhibiting more than one kinase in the same pathway provides additional
protection against resistance-conferring mutations. Accordingly, in another aspect of the
invention, the compoimds of formulas (I)-(VIII) are used in combination with at least one
additional agent, such as Gleevec, in the treatment of hematological cancers, such as
chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), to reverse or prevent resistance to the at least one
additional agent.
The present invention will be imderstood more readily by reference to the
following examples, which are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to be
limiting of the present invention.
Representative side chains for use in the compounds of the following examples
may generally be prepared in accordance with the following procedures:

The activity of various isoforms of Raf serine/threonine kinases can be measured
by providing ATP, MEK substrate, and assaying the transfer of phosphate moiety to the
MEK residue. Recombinant isoforms of Raf w^ere obtained by purification from sf9
insect cells infected with a human Raf recombinant baculoviras expression vector.
20 Recombinant kinase inactive MEK was expressed in E. coli and labeled with Biotin post
purification. For each assay, test compounds were serially diluted in DMSO then mixed
with Raf (0.50 nM) and kinase inactive biotin-MEK (50 nM) in reaction buffer plus ATP
(1 |LiM). Reactions were subsequently incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and
stopped by the addition of 0.5 M EDTA. Stopped reaction mixture was transferred to a
25 neutradavin-coated plate (Pierce) and incubated for 1 hour. Phosphorylated product was
measured with the DELFIA time-resolved fluorescence system (Wallac), using a rabbit
anti-p-MEK (Cell Signaling) as tlae primary antibody and europium labeled atiti-rabbit as
the secondary antibody. Time resolved fluorescence was read on a Wallac 1232 DELFIA
